the power of your story
Unlock the power of your story.
We believe the people, purpose, and passion behind a brand are more than a business—they’re a powerful story waiting to be told. When skillfully crafted with insight and intention, your story doesn’t just inform—it can captivate.
At Embers & Oak Storyworks, we partner with brands, big and small, to craft stories that spark connection, spread widely, and leave a lasting impression. Discover how our collaborative process, cinematic style, scalable capabilities, and proven storytelling expertise can unlock the full power of your story.
Collaborative process
Our process is rooted in partnership.
No one knows your brand like you do. You embrace it, deeply. Live it, daily. And nurture it, carefully.
Through thoughtful collaboration, we dive deep to understand not just your goals, but the heart of your brand—your values, beliefs, and unique voice. This shared understanding becomes the foundation of our work, guiding us as we craft emotional narratives that are authentic, compelling, and truly yours.
Cinematic storytelling
At Embers & Oak Storyworks, award-winning filmmaker, Hanh Nguyen, brings cinematic storytelling to the brand world.
Our boutique approach delivers top-tier creative that connects, inspires, and builds lasting relationships—affordably.
Scalable campaigns
We believe the final asset isn’t the end—it’s just the beginning.
The cinematic brand film we create becomes the storytelling centerpiece of a larger, scalable campaign—expanded through tailored cut-downs for digital channels and striking still imagery.
But your story doesn’t stop there.
We can design campaigns to spread even further. Our comprehensive communications capabilities make it easy to deploy your story through thought leadership, PR, social, blogs and other channels.
